This lecture delved into Franco Grignani’s innovative use of typography and graphic elements in advertising design spanning from the late 1940s to the 1970s.
During his lecture at Vision 65, the first World Congress on New Challenges to Human Communication, held at the Southern Illinois University of Carbondale in 1965, Franco Grignani boldly proclaimed “The future is in us because our design is in the future”
